Wrong scale but realisation of a childhood dream

I wrote to Santa 3 years running to no avail from the age of 6, but finally I have my own Mallard!

Would love one in N but for now here's No.130 of The Great Goodbye collection.



Back in her box she goes

Would love one in N

Think of all that extra lovely detail you're getting in OO though!

Instead of putting it into it's box, how about one of these so you can enjoy looking at it every day?

Awesome, thanks for the link. I was going go keep it boxed and never use it but temptation got the better of me. It's a shame to hide the most beautiful loco ever created in a box too!

Lovely model

saw them at York for the "Gathering" and at Shildon a few weeks ago for "The Great Goodbye"

was really atmospheric seeing the six of them outside the shed at Shildon on a cold February day with three of them in steam.

My favourite loco, for many different reasons.

Awesome machines
